This NEVER happened when King Barack I ordered pallets of cash totaling $150B under cover of darkness to be flown to Iran’s murderous mullahs, bribing them to sign his treasonous “Iran Nuclear Deal.” (Because “treaties” have to be approved by the Senate, and he didn’t have the votes.) Not a peep from the State Dept. about that flagrant abuse of power.
Pompeo should be sacking the holdovers from the Obama cabal in the State Dept.
I think you’re confusing the total amount of money transferred to Iran with the subset of that money transferred in cash on pallets. The pallet money is usually reported to be around 1.5 billion dollars. Still a scandalous amount, of course.
